Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy Explore the Internet’s Best Gay Fan Fiction of Themselves: VIDEO

If you’re like me, you probably think Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy would make a really great couple. They could even have a cute "couple" name like Fassvoy or McAssbender.

Okay, nevermind, scratch that idea...

Regardless, a good portion of the internet also thinks the two belong in a relationship, as there appears to be a great deal of fan-made slash fiction about the dream couple and their wonderfully domesticated life together.

As guests on Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show, the X-Men: Days of Future Past stars were treated to the very best selections of this fanfic, with the duo having a fun time exploring the dynamics and scenarios of their hypothetical relationship.

Incredible! Both actors have a great sense of humour.
How things have changed........!

And we in the US have to wait a week, because BBC America has an inexplicable 8-day delay on the Graham Norton Show. This episode will be on May 10.

What I would give to see them in a 3-way with Hugh Jackman.

They are both great sports about it.

Why must gays always do this? This is why most straight men avoid gay men. You couldn't just do a story, you have to put a sexual conotation to it. This really makes you look like sex starved pervs!!!

Uperverts, slash fiction writers tend to be women – so this is not necessarily the work of gay men.

Apparently some straight women don't get enough man-on-man action in their doughty romance novels to satisfy their needs, while in Japan this is an entire genre of professionally written graphic novels.

Most of the men I know, gay and straight, are sex starved pervs(!!!).
I'm down with SSPs! Yeah, you know me!

Fanfic all the way to the moon and back, dears, the flick is still doomed. And I am ok with that.

It disappoints me that people think that stupid portmanteaus like Fassvoy and McAssbender are "cute".

This is amazing, I'm dying!

I've thought of Mcavoy as one of the sexiest men alive ever since that first nude scene he did in the British "Shameless" series. Absolutely breathtaking natural body, i.e., not a gym bunny. He has exuded a strong, nasty sexual vibe in everything else I've seen him in.
